75: Leslie McGuirk - The Power of Mercury

What is it about the stars and planets that draws us in? Why is it that Mercury going retrograde plays such havoc on communications, technology and more? Why should we care where Mercury is in our astrology chart? For that matter why should we care about astrology? I believe in astrology. I have always believed in it, all while believing in God. To me, the two are not mutually exclusive. I am sure I opened up a can of worms with that statement! But how do we interpret the movement of the stars and the planets as an owner's manual for our lives?  My guest is a renowned astrologer in addition to being a children's book author with over 2,000,000 copies of her books in print and an in-demand corporate trainer on creativity. A recent TEDx talk on creativity brought the house down with a standing ovation. We discuss what astrology is and isn't, explain why knowing about Mercury can improve your life and your relationships and how to weather the changes your astrological chart might have in store for you. LESLIE MCGUIRK is a professional astrologer with over 30 years of experience. Leslie has taught at The Golden Door Spa (CA), Rancho La Puerta Spa (Mexico), Red Mountain Spa (Utah) and The Ritz Carlton Resort (FL). Her children's books have sold over 2,000,000 copies worldwide.
